Abstract

The presence of presynaptic auto- and heteroreceptors located on striatal afferents (e.g. Kalsner and Westfall, 1990) provides a locus for feedback regulation of transmitter release and for presynaptic interaction between afferent projections. While axo-axonic contacts are extremely rare in the striatum (Kornhuber and Kornhuber, 1983) the close proximity of cortical glutamate (GLU), nigral dopamine (DA) and other afferent terminals as they form synapses on spiny neurons (Freund et al., 1984) provides the potential for presynaptic interactions resulting from the activation of presynaptic receptors by diffusion of transmitter from synaptic sites (Cuello, 1966; Fuxe and Agnati, 1991).
